Splash Summer Camp 2026
Thank you for a great Summer!! We had a blast doing countless cannonballs, all sorts of crafts, building things, making little rockets, learning water safety, watching parachuters, and so many smiles and laughs!
Summer 2027 schedule will launch in November- we are already starting to plan it!
Note: weekly registration will be capped at about 12 kids, so plan to register early!
We had a request for a girl only week in Summer 2027- if you have preference of which week, let us know.
If you have other requests, let us know early and we can look into the practicality of it (state requirements, staffing, etc).
At Serenity Swimming’s Summer Camp, kids enjoy a full day of fun and friendship in and out of the water. Designed for children that have completed full day Kindergarten to ages 11 years (or 12 with younger sibling) who love the water, our camp blends swimming with engaging activities, teamwork, and play. Each day includes two swim sessions, games, crafts, and plenty of time for laughter. As each week allows, we try adding in team building, science experiments, water safety, firefighter visits, walking trip to airport, and an end of the week fish cupcake activity (only if no food allergies). With a structured flow and small group environment, campers build confidence and create lasting memories—all in a positive, supportive setting.
Camp is limited to 12 children that will have completed Kindergarten weekly. In 2026, multiple weeks filled and had waitlist, so signing up early is encouraged.
We are certified Maryland Youth Camp and always have 2 staff onsite CPR certified.

All items should be clearly labeled with your child’s name. Please leave valuables at home!
*Long sleeve swimsuits can be hard to get on/off. Practice showering in it and taking it off. If that is difficult for the camper, bring a different swimsuit.
Q: Is my child ready for summer day camp?
A: Campers should be able to:

- Respect other campers
- Use the restroom independently

Q: What are your staff-to-child ratios?
A:
- In the pool: ratios are at least 1:10, but typically 1:6 to 1:7
- Overall camp ratio: at least 1:15, but typically approximately 1:8
Q: What if my child is a weak swimmer?
A: Safety is our top priority. On Day 1, all campers complete a swim assessment to determine:
- Deep water readiness
- Shallow water swimmer
If your camper has not had swim lessons or is a weak/ beginner swimmer, we highly encourage adding swim lessons to your camper’s registration!
Q: More information about adding swim lessons?
A: Swim lessons are private 1:1 lessons- the same quality as our normal lessons. These occur just before, during, or just after the normal swim times for campers- Depending how our schedule works and the individual campers preferences. The week of lessons can make a huge difference and many campers make huge strides in their skills and build a lot of water confidence. If their swim ability improves and they are ready to advance to deep, we’ll do a new swim assessment.

A: Camp weeks are designed for those that have completed Kindergarten until 11 years. If attending with a younger sibling, up to age 12.
